    Article: Is Counting Calories Pointless

    If you're eating 2000 calories a day. 600 from protein. 400 from fat .1000 from carbs. There. Is a huge difference in body composition then if you were taking in 850 from protein. 650 from fat and 500 from carbs. It's more about quality of food and not the calories in my opinion.

    Article: Is Counting Calories Pointless

    So there's no difference between a high carb diet and low carb diet in terms of weight regulation? I'd definitely disagree. If my proteins and fats are the same and the only difference is my carb intake , if it's low then I'd definitely lose more weight then of it was high.

    Article: Cardio Mistakes

    Lately, I've started to do my cardio during my weight training but only maintain that for 6-8 weeks. If I do separate my cardio it's HIIT done after training. I find it helps.

    Article: Your Scale Is A Liar

    That's definitely not true and a gross generalization. I know plenty of people who aren't on "gear" that have simultaneously dropped body fat while making gains in lean body mass. I'm one of them. If your diet is clean and you're training program is on point there is no reason you can't make...

    Article: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Squat Tips

    He's telling us what he used to do. You may disagree with him but can you argue with the results he got? I think not. I personally used to hate squatting as someone who is 6'9" my range of motion was limited but after working at my technique, I'm now squatting well below parallel and the gains...

    Article: Fat Burning Tricks

    You're making my point for me. To say that what you eat doesn't matter because it's all about just the amount of calories you take in minus the calories you expend doesn't really take into account the fact that you need the minerals, vitamins, etc to keep the body functioning efficiently . Yes...

    Article: Fat Burning Tricks

    Sorry buddy. You may have a great physique. And if so, good for you but that whole "calories in, calories out" thinking is nonsense. You're going to tell me getting your macros from a double cheeseburger is the same as a lean steak with roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli? Nope! Nutrient content...

    Article: When You Should Take Creatine

    Kind of a waste of an article. Where is it written that you have to take it either before or after? I've had great results taking creatine pre as well as post workout for better saturation.

    Article: Crossfit Moves You Should Do

    I guess I just don't understand all the hate coming from people. I bet if the article was "Moves you should do" there wouldn't half the comments. I agree that Crossfit has its negatives, like it being pretty cultish and boastful, but it does have its positive aspects. More people are working out...

    Article: Crossfit Moves You Should Do

    Yeah, I definitely agree with you on how these OL's should be utilized because they are damn taxing on the body. But I do think if they are performed properly, high reps have their place. The thing is with Crossfit, is that I don't think that it's sustainable in the long term. Bodybuilding, you...

    Article: Crossfit Moves You Should Do

    It's so funny to see how much hate there is for Crossfit by so many self professed experts. If you ask any legitimate S&C coach worth his salt, he'll tell you that these lifts have their place. Crossfit didn't create them. They just utilize them. How kettlebell swings are a worthless movement...

    Article: CNS Fatigue

    Great article. Some of the guys at my gym, tell me I'm going to screw up my CNS, because I'll go for an hour or 2, but those are the days I feel great and just feel like pushing it hard. They got it in my head so now I've cut my workouts down to like 45 mins but don't feel as good.

    Article: Weights Before Cardio

    Yeah, can definitely understand that but what if your goal is to drop bodyfat while not only maintaining but building lean muscle. And if time is also a factor in your training, getting there twice just to separate your resistance and cardio sessions just isn't an option.

    Article: Weights Before Cardio

    Yeah, I would say that was fine. The study showed the problem being the 20+ steady state post training cardio session did the most to blunt the hypertrophic response. Cycling, Rowing., and pretty much any form of HIIT had little to no effect, due to their resistant training type qualities

    Article: Mastering The Overhead Press

    Great article. I have had rotator cuff problems and haven't been able to work on my delts as much as I could, so this was really informative.

    Article: Weights Before Cardio

    From the latest articles I've read on the subject, they seem to agree with LegacyFighter. Cardio before training , on non training days or with at least a 6 hour break between are best for maintaining the lean muscle you worked hard to gain. They article I read also mentioned that if cardio...
